This was not my first visit to The Hydro but it had been a few years since my last so I was very excited to return. From touching down in Cape Town airport and seeing the driver with The Hydro sign waiting for my at arrivals, I felt instantly relaxed. I couldn't wait to get there and change into my...

Professional staff and therapists. Food well prepared, tasty and healthy. Morning and afternoon forest walks enjoyable and good exercise Relaxation and yoga classes - amazing with good instructors. Rooms clean and nicely decorated. Overall a good experience and I will return.

Stayed on a 2 day break away package. Had hydro therapy, Cocoon massage and Refining facial all which were excellent and therapists really good. I did not like the feel of the hotel as I felt it lacked a bit of atmosphere but the rooms are large and well decorated giving all the comforts. The bathrooms need some updating. The...

Fantastic stay. It was a short break 2 nights only, but I felt so pampered and relaxed.
For me every time again when I stay at the Hydro, I feel overall so much better, more relaxed, energised and optimistic. It is for me the ideal short break in between, to have a real break away from all daily commitments and...

This last 5 days have been amazing. The Hydro, the Hydroteam, the food I can not find a single thing which was negative! Thank you Hydro Team I come again. Everything was just perfect and there is nothing to complain only to say thank thank you and thank you!

The venue it nested in the beautiful Stellenbosch Rustenberg area.

Had a wonderful escape and will highly recommend The Hydro to anyone looking for some pampering. Fabulous staff, excellent treatments and delicious food.
The highlight of the stay has to be the exceptional massages and the wonderful walk on the neighbouring property.
The weather was typical Cape Winter - rain and warm fire kept us cosy while we relaxed and...

On our arrival we were received very politely by your friendly staff.
Your venue has a very calming effect on a person, giving you a sense of relaxation.
My only concern was the food that was insufficient for me. I left the Hydro hungry.

It's been a while since I last visited The Hydro. Treatments are outstanding. The staff is what makes this place what it is. They are professional, warm, helpful and knowledgeable. The current 'eating clean' plan is superb. Although it can do with greater variety.
Two things stand out as big negatives, for me. Firstly, it is evident that place needs...

Dear Nomboniso
Your considerable enthusiasm for The Hydro is much appreciated. Most of our guests have a similar response. However, the part of your review which was critical concerned the interior design, something that is highly subjective. As an indication of the wide variety of individual tastes, please see the review directly before your own, in which that guest (‘Monross’)specifically...

In September, the beginning of Spring I decided to embark on a Spring cleaning of mind and body.
Having been to the Hydro many times in years gone by, dating back to the eighties,I was astounded by the fabulous upgrade to the Hydro on every level.
The decor throughout the Hydro was one of understated elegance, leaving one with a...
